Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 19: Magnetic Field Cultivation
Chen Qingxuan did not hide his words. He nodded and said, "I do have this plan."

Elder Jinmang stroked his snow-white beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhou Qing only has one spiritual root. Is it inappropriate to choose him as the eldest senior brother?"

Chen Qingxuan asked, "Could it be that the elder has forgotten the past events of Mu Zhuosha?"

Jin Mang's face showed a melancholy expression as he said, "How could I forget? Zhuosha was raised by us elders. Now she is in a state neither human nor ghost. Aren't we heartbroken?"

"But you can't go to the other extreme because of this. Zhuosha's Dao heart is lacking, so you should choose someone with a perfect Dao heart but poor spiritual roots and talent to be your senior brother."

"Every generation's senior brothers are related to the sect's reputation. When participating in the Immortal Dao Conference, senior brothers from other Jindan sects will have more than ten or even dozens of spiritual roots and will be able to complete Qi Refining within ten years. However, our Qingyun Sect's senior brother only has a mere one spiritual root. After ten years of cultivation, he is still lingering on the first or second level of Qi Refining."

"Where will Qingyun Sect put its face?"

"Let's not talk about that. What if the other disciples, seeing their senior brother's slow progress, start to slack off? What will happen then?"

Chen Qingxuan said, "The elder has given it careful consideration. However, this boy's understanding and character are both top-notch. It would be a pity to let him go."

Elder Jinmang smiled and said, "Intelligent people are often able to draw inferences from one instance to another. Since he has a high level of comprehension, his ability to comprehend other aspects will not be bad either. The Sutra Library lacks a brilliant and insightful person to organize the scriptures. The Qimen Hall's weapon refining, alchemy, talismans, and formations also require relatively low cultivation levels."

"We might as well wait and see how he develops in the future. When his cultivation reaches its limit and it becomes difficult to improve, we can transfer him to the Sutra Library or Qimen Hall. This way, his talent will not be wasted."

Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "Just do as the elder said."

When he first recruited Zhou Qing, he had intended to arrange him to places that had low requirements for cultivation but required understanding, so as to avoid letting the talent go to waste. Elder Jin Mang's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.

Chen Qingxuan continued, "Elder, who do you think is suitable to be the senior brother this time?"

Elder Jin Mang said, "I think Wei Kuang is a good fit. His grandfather joined the Qingyun Sect at the same time as you, and later died fighting for the sect. We must not mistreat his descendants."

Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "Wei Kuang is very good."

……

After returning to his own courtyard, Zhou Qing couldn't wait to open the ban to prevent anyone from breaking in, and then he began to ponder the skills taught by Chen Qingxuan in the room.

Chen Qingxuan's description of spiritual practice is very precise.

He said that refining Qi is like taming a wild beast.

Aura is a natural thing between heaven and earth, and it was not created specifically for humans. If one wants to transform this natural thing into one's own energy, one must fight.

The process of this struggle is the process of qi circulation.

Practitioners use their minds to guide the Qi to circulate in their bodies. Through twelve important acupoints, the natural spiritual energy is permeated with the practitioner's own life breath.

With each cycle, the spiritual energy would be more permeated with the cultivator's own life breath, and become more tamed.

If one practices the Qingyun Sect's Floating Clouds Covering the Sun, then after circulating it for fifty-four weeks, the Qi will truly belong to the person.

Qigong is very dangerous, because when natural spiritual energy is not tamed, it is very violent. If you make it run in the body, if your heart is not stable and you cannot restrain the spiritual energy, it will violently attack the acupoints, which may cause serious injuries at the very least, and death at the worst.

Therefore, those who are new to the path of immortality must practice under the guidance of a teacher.

These are the contents that Chen Qingxuan emphasized, and Zhou Qing already knew them by heart.

He now has only one question, which is also the most basic question: how to let spiritual energy enter the body?
This is the last question to ask, but it is the biggest problem for Zhou Qing.

He has no spiritual roots, so he has no channels for spiritual energy to flow in and out.

Since spiritual energy cannot enter the body, then all the talk about moving qi is just empty talk. Zhou Qing blinked and stared at the dark night outside, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

In this case, wouldn't the Qingyun Sect's skills be of no use to me?
To be more pessimistic, is it impossible to practice without spiritual roots? Is the practice method he imagined to avoid spiritual roots simply a castle in the air?

Is he really going to miss the chance to become an immortal?

Zhou Qing felt a strong sense of resentment.

He had clearly tried his best to squeeze into the immortal gate and obtain the cultivation method, but the door to the immortal path was still closed to him. No matter how hard he thought, he could not push the door open even a crack.

In fact, with his magnetic field ability, he can live a wonderful life even in the mortal world.

But how good is it? Can it bring eternal life?
Compared with immortality, all other pleasures pale in comparison.

Not to mention, cultivating immortality can bring people not only immortality, but also the ability to pick stars and moons, and turn rivers and seas upside down.

No, we can't give up easily.

Cultivating immortals is a bumpy and dangerous road that requires indomitable resilience to get through. If one suddenly encounters a problem and wants to give up, even if he has dozens of spiritual roots, he will not be able to go far on this road.

There must be some way...

The world of cultivating immortals has a history of millions of years. If there really was a method of cultivation that did not require spiritual roots, it would have been thought of long ago.

Does he think he is smarter than everyone in the world of immortal cultivation over millions of years?

No, he has one advantage over them, and that is his magnetic field ability.

Zhou Qing was shocked. If there really was a method that didn't require spiritual roots, then the only way to achieve it would be through his magnetic field.

He immediately turned on the magnetic field.

The magnetic field is like his other sense, and sometimes like his other invisible hands.

Because the magnetic field can not only help him sense, but also help him grab things.

He could now clearly feel the spiritual energy around him. He could use the small hands of the magnetic field to touch them, wrap them, and perform operations on them that other cultivators could not even imagine.

But he couldn't let them enter his meridians...

and many more!

Why not?
Zhou Qing was suddenly stunned.

Other cultivators need spiritual roots because they do not have magnetic field capabilities and cannot directly affect spiritual energy. They can only use spiritual roots to sense and absorb spiritual energy of the same attributes into their bodies.

Since he can use magnetic fields to capture spiritual energy, why doesn't he force the spiritual energy directly into his meridians?
It’s like, if you want to enter someone’s house, entering through the door is naturally the right way, but if there is really no door, what’s wrong with breaking the wall and squeezing in?
Zhou Qing's spirits suddenly lifted, and he wanted to try it immediately.

Chen Qingxuan's instructions suddenly rang in his mind.

Zhou Qing paused and decided to ignore Chen Qingxuan's warning.

He couldn't possibly experiment with this method of using a magnetic field to force spiritual energy into his body in front of Chen Qingxuan, otherwise his secret would be completely exposed.

Even if his experiment succeeds, he will probably fall into the control of the sect immediately. Whether it will be a blessing or a disaster will not be decided by him.
